Chapter 359: Set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust
That night, on the night of the full moon in summer, Qi Hanxuan set up a banquet in the main pavilion by the lake in the imperial garden, and invited the officials above the fourth rank of the court to attend together with their families and harem concubines, so as to bring the dust and wind back to Beijing for the great prince, so as to show the deep brotherhood between the emperor and the great prince in the world.
Because of the strict rules of Fengling Kingdom, there is still a difference between men and women, not to mention the ministers of the court and the concubines in the harem, so this banquet is placed in two places, one is the main pavilion by the lake, and the other is the side pavilion jade pavilion on the side of the main pavilion.
The jade pavilion is the place where the harem concubines and courtiers are located, and the emperor and the ministers are naturally in the main pavilion.
When Bai Tiantian took Yuxin to the lake, the palace maids and eunuchs who were busy coming and going had already spread all over the imperial garden.
When she walked through the main pavilion, she only heard the loud laughter of the young man and the old minister, and glanced up, but she didn't see the familiar figure in her eyes, presumably she hadn't come yet!
But think about it, how could the emperor arrive so early and wait for others to come here?
Don't all heavyweights like to play at the last minute! Finale!
Narrowing his eyes, Bai Tiantian walked towards the side pavilion, only to see a group of middle-aged women in brocade clothes talking and laughing together, sitting at the same big table, and Yue Gui Concubine Li Xiaoyi or Sister Zhang They also arrived and sat at another big table.
glanced around, and with just one glance, she noticed the woman who had been looking at her, the beautiful son and daughter of the courtier's family!
Today's mother specially wore a blue embroidered skirt, but it was embroidered with some patterns that she couldn't understand, which seemed to be somewhat imaginary with the patterns on her father's official uniform, but if you think about it, you know that this dress must be the clothes worn by courtiers and families on formal occasions when banquets are held in the palace.
She hadn't seen her mother for a long time, and she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, so Bai Tiantian walked over directly with Yuxin.
Seeing her daughter coming over, Mrs. Bai hurriedly stood up, her happy eyes turned red directly, but after all, she was in the palace now, and in front of so many courtiers and families, she couldn't lose her temper.
According to the rank, although she is the wife of the fourth-grade prefect, she has no title on her body, not only Mrs. Bai, but most of the rest at this table are not titled except for the older lady.
After all, the harem that the emperor only opened this year held a concubine selection ceremony, and only seven people were selected to enter the palace at the concubine selection ceremony, and their daughters didn't even step into the palace threshold, where is there a way to give them the title of mother?
Seeing this young woman in a palace dress walking towards Mrs. Bai, besides, they had seen her at the banquet in the palace before, she was Madame Bai's only daughter, Bai Tiantian.
Thinking of her current identity from the fifth grade Xiaoyi, and I heard that she is still being favored by the emperor these days, there is no title rank, and the masters of the family are also from the fourth grade of the wife, although they are a little reluctant in their hearts, why is their daughter being put off the brand, and Mrs. Bai's daughter has entered the palace and is rising step by step!
But he still got up and saluted Bai Tian together, "The courtiers have seen Bai Xiaoyi." ”
Before Bai Tiantian walked next to her mother, she saw a bunch of middle-aged women of the same age as her mother, who suddenly got up and saluted her, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and she was a little uncomfortable in front of her.
